Mlem is Great! But what really surprised me is wefwef, hands down the best PWA I’ve ever seen
wefwef is seriously one of the best PWA I’ve ever seen. I’m interested in trying out mlem once it goes live on the App Store
Why do you want to wait for the App Store version? FlightTest is made by apple, no jailbreak, no illegal things. It’s a separate App Store where you need an invite link to access an app. And here is the Link
You’re right, I don’t have a good reason not to use it other than preference. I used to be on beta for everything when I was on Android and when I switched to iOS I decided not to.
PWA- progressive web app
An app that is actually just a webpage that behaves like an app and runs through safari. A TestFlight app is a full regular iOS app but in beta so you install it from the TestFlight app like a different App Store.
Think when a new call of duty or other video game releases early in beta access. Same idea with TestFlight. Memmy is in TestFlight (I’m using it rn) but is being submitted for normal App Store release now.

Mlem is great!
It’s a shame Mlem doesn’t have an iPad version. This makes it unusable to me
Looks like it’s already being worked on now. https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem/pull/167
wefwef is actually crazy good for a web app. feels as close as we’ll ever get to having Apollo for Lemmy
I‘m using it right now and it is so snappy. Feels like Apollo all the way — it’s crazy.
I’m using wefwef as well and it’s legit a Apollo clone which is awesome! Now just need more people to come over to here and Lemmy will be even better then Reddit since it’s part of the fediverse
Even as an Android user. Wefwef is the best out there
wefwef is like Apollo-lite so it’s not surprising that it’s so popular. It follows much of the same design language but not quite as buttoned up or full-featured as the more mature Apollo.
It was an easy transition for me since I was an Apollo user.
“It follows the same design language” is an understatement. It’s a straight copy. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, though I have some questions with regard to Christian Selig’s intellectual property rights here, if any.
My first thought upon loading wefwef was “I wonder if the Apollo guy is pissed.”
Very impressed with wefwef. And somehow it’s the only client I’ve found that has swipe-to-fold-comments. A required feature IMO.
